Kasuyoshi Takeyachi, DC

One of the historic leaders of the Japanese Chiropractic
Association, Dr. Kasuyoshi Takeyachi of Tokyo, Japan, graduated
from National in 1968. His many honors included awards from World
Federation of Chiropractic, serving as a Fellow of the
International College of Chiropractic, and holding chiropractic
administrative and teaching responsibilities at a RMIT University
in Japan.

A National education is a Takeyachi tradition. Kasuyoshi's two
brothers graduated from National in 1976.The three brothers ran
Tokyo Chiropractic Center, in the heart of Tokyo for over 30
years.

Kauyoshi once said, "National has been our 'mother' in
chiropractic, both while we were students and after 30 years of
practice. We in the Takeyachi family are proud of our
accomplishments in Japan, but none would have been possible without
the support of our alma mater, National." All the Takeyachi doctors
have been honored leaders in Japanese chiropractic practice,
teaching and research.

"My greatest happiness is to see a new generation of young
chiropractors who are determined to help people through this great
profession," said Dr. Takeyachi.

Note: Although Dr. Takeyachi passed away in February of
2012, his legacy continues. His son also graduated from National in
2006 and opened Takeyachi Chiropractic Center at Tokyo Station,
carrying on his proud family heritage in chiropractic
medicine.
